Each outfit has either a sporty or [sci-fi appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects) to it. For the former, veils have even been fixed to couture baseball caps. The Block Magazine Decadent Basic editorial was shot by New York-based photographer Bon Duke. Appearing in the publication's spring and summer 2012 issue, it stars model Chrishell Stubbs. The Caribbean beauty was styled by Martha Violante. Violante pulled spring pieces from such fashion labels as Altuzarra, Jil Sander and Louis Vuitton for [eclectically romantic outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection).
